Stacey Harmon 1,110 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I forwarded an email into Evernote that has a hyperlink out to the web in it that I want to access. I can’t figure out how to access it. When I click on the link, Evernote acts like I’m trying to edit the note (vs launch the link in a safari browser window). I recorded what it’s doing (attached). In the video, I’m tapping/touching the hyperlink behind the word “article” which is what is triggering the behavior. Don’t know if it is user error or a bug. Can you please advise?

I have no problem accessing hyperlinks in note-view mode An internal browser window is opened, with the option to switch to Safari Link to comment

My experience is that when I'm in view mode, tapping the link moves me into edit mode, which isn't what I want. I want the link to launch safari. Can you tell me more about what you mean that an "internal browser window is opened, with the option to switch to Safari"? Are you saying that when you touch the link on the screen, you're getting an internal pop-up that let's you navigate to Safari? If so, I'm not seeing that so wonder what's different. I'm on iOS 14 on an iPhone X. Link to comment

Stacey Harmon 1,110 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Ah! That's helpful in narrowing down the issue. If the URL is not in a "HTML Content" container, it works as expected (as in your example). But, if the URL is in an HTML Content box, then tapping it launches edit mode. And, when I forward in emails, or clip (share) from the web, Evernote is often putting it in HTML content blocks (probably based on the source content). So, that helps to narrow down the issue. Thx.

ej8899 175 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Any updates on this Evernote team? I've lost a pretty much all usability of Evernote on iOS devices due to the large number of 'bugs' - this being one of the bigger ones. 1 Link to comment
LengoTengo 0 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I also have this problem on iOS. Mac App (regular MAS version) and Chrome web clipper work fine. I am also having other problems with HTML content box. Cannot access source, or the link is broken, or the box is just broken from the start. It's clearly inconsistent here whenever HTML box is on duty. Link to comment

Wow...that did the trick @stocky2605! Thank you! The HTML container links open with a touch of the screen if edit protection is turned on in the settings. So, now that I understand that, my question is – is this the intended behavior of HTML content blocks, or a bug? Seems to me that with edit protection turned off, the links should still work vs trigger editing of the note. But, maybe that is not possible? Link to comment
